Theatre maker, writer, business manager and photographer from Auckland, New Zealand.
I'm James, a forty-something self-confessed geek living on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand.
I've been involved in theatre since intermediate school, starting as a stagehand. I joined Shoreside Theatre as a lighting operator in 1991 and formed my own theatre company, Foolish Wit Theatre, in 2015.
I began directing in 2014. In 2010 I was one of 12 people worldwide chosen to take part in a directing workshop at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.
I worked for one of the first internet providers in New Zealand where I saved the world from Y2K, and spent twelve years working in the public service. I'm currently the Business Manager of The PumpHouse Theatre in Takapuna.
Outside of theatre I enjoy photography, travelling and British TV panel shows. I share a cat named Meowvolio who likes biting toes in the middle of the night.
